Blue Jay 20-game winner Dean Peterson had to skip this start because of a bad blister... Apari Churchill (0-1) started in his place and lasted only 4 innings...Churchill was the loser as he was slammed for 5 runs in 4 innings... he departed trailing 5-3... White River starter Paul Sardini (3-1 2.60) copped the win, but struggled with 7 walks... Sardini went 6 innings, allowed 3 runs and 5 hits with 6 Ks... Sardini was ahead 7-3 at the time... the Rascals put the game out of reach with 6 runs in the seventh.
